Can the Huawei Ascend 950DT run MADLAD-400 10B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
MADLAD-400 10B on the Huawei Ascend 950DT
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 669k | 121.5-147.7 t/s | ~1.2-1.5 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 734k | 243-295.3 t/s | ~2.4-3 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 763k | 433.9-527.4 t/s | ~4.3-5.3 (slow) |
Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.
